Andy Bernstein’s Magic Johnson, Larry Bird photos featured in play

Among the highlights of my conversation with NBA senior photographer Andrew Bernstein:

• How one of his photos is featured in the playbill of the “Magic/Bird” Broadway show.
• Why he most cherishes shooting the 1985 NBA Finals.
• How he managed to arrange photo shoots with Johnson and Bird even moments before a game.
• Bernstein’s take on the relationship between Johnson and Bird.
• The difficulties in shooting game pictures featuring Johnson and Bird.
